Nigeria: Adamawa State Weekly Situation Report No Nigeria: Adamawa State Weekly Situation Report No. 11 20 August 2021 This report is compiled by OCHA Nigeria in collaboration with humanitarian partners. HIGHLIGHTS • Some 297 people convicted for sexual and gender-based violence out of 774 reported cases between 2020 and the first half of 2021. • UNICEF is working with humanitarian partners to improve the quality of education and motivate teachers in Adamawa State SITUATION OVERVIEW 774 cases of sexual and gender-based violence reported between 2020 and the first half of 2021 Some 297 people were convicted for sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) from 2020 to 2021 in Adamawa State out of about 774 cases reported. Due to the rising cases of GBV, the state Primary Healthcare Development Agency trained 50 participants across the 21 Local Government Areas (LGA) to prevent a further spike in cases. The capacity-building effort is expected to increase awareness of SGBV, detection of victims and suspects, reporting of suspects, and the management of victims undergoing trauma related to SGBV in communities across the state. Concern over the root cause of poor service delivery in the education sector UNICEF has raised concern over the challenges teachers face in the course of delivering quality education in Adamawa State. During the inauguration of a technical and vocational education program organised for teachers in Hong LGA the agency observed that low morale, poor welfare packages, and inequitable distribution of teachers are largely responsible for issues with education quality in the state. UNICEF plans to construct and rehabilitate 55 schools in Hong, Mubi North, Mubi South, Michika, Fufore, and Guyuk LGAs in Adamawa State to address some of the challenges. Government and partners mark the 2021 World Humanitarian Day (WHD), reaffirming commitment to climate actions The Adamawa State Government and the humanitarian community on 19 August marked the 2021 WHD with series of activities in Yola (the state capital) and Mubi (hub of the response in the worst affected northern axis of the state). It included reviewing the risks and impacts of climate change that are exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the state and mapping urgent collective actions to salvage the situation in line with the global theme #TheHumanRace”. The Government leadership and partners led environmental actions including clearing of blocked drainages, refuse dumpsites and also tree- planting across locations to mobilize populations for positive action on climate change. Mass sensitization programmes on environment-friendly activities and actions were also aired on radio and television. The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to Coordinate the global emergency response to save lives and protect people in humanitarian crises. We advocate for effective and principled humanitarian action by all, for all. www.unocha.org Adamawa State Situation Report No. 11 HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE Camp Coordination and Camp Management / Non-Food Items Response: • The IOM Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM)/Accountability to Affected People (AAP) team interviewed 1,378 individuals across 10 sites (4 formal, 6 informal) during the complaints and feedback mechanism (CFM) and communication with communities (CwC) household survey. The survey assessed the CwC initiatives, communication tools, channels, format, and languages used for two-way communication across the sites. The AAP team from IOM also carried out a rapid assessment of the complaint and feedback desk across the sites to find out the level of compliance with COVID-19 safety standards for both internally displaced people (IDP) and staff members. Education Needs: • Continual capacity-building support is needed for teachers, as well as refresher trainings on coaching and mentoring. • Strengthened infrastructure is required for school buildings.

  • The Politics of History in Northern Nigeria
    The Politics of History in Northern Nigeria Niels Kastfelt Centre of African Studies University of Copenhagen Paper presented to the Research Seminar of the African Studies Centre, Leiden, 27 April 2006 The Politics of History in Contemporary Africa In recent years there has been a growing interest in the political uses of history in Africa. It is difficult to tell whether there is today a greater or more explicit political use of history than before, but it is clear that the past as a political resource does attract a strong interest from politicians and others, and that this interest takes new and highly visible forms. In this paper I shall discuss the politics of history in northern Nigeria. The discussion is based on a local case from the Nigerian Middle Belt which will be interpreted in the light of two wider contexts, that of the African continent in general and that of the specific Nigerian context. The aim of the paper is therefore double, aiming both at throwing light on the continental debate on history and on contemporary Nigerian politics. The political use of history in contemporary Africa takes many forms and so does the scholarly study of it. Without pretending to cover the entire field some main forms may be identified: “Patriotic history”: In a series of fascinating studies Terence Ranger and others have called attention to the emergence of “patriotic history” in contemporary Zimbabwe1. Zimbabwean “patriotic history” is part of the so-called “Mugabeism” launched in recent years by the regime of Robert Mugabe. The core of Mugabeism is the special version of the past called patriotic history which is promoted systematically through television, radio, newspapers and in the schools.

By building and reinforcing self-protection mechanisms, UNHCR empowers persons of concern to claim their rights and to participate in decision-making, including with national and local authorities, and with humanitarian actors. The overall aim of UNHCR Nigeria interventions is to prioritize and address the most serious human rights violations, including the right to life and security of persons.

Since late 2016, IOM and other humanitarian partners have been able to scale up on its activities. However, despite the will and hope of the humanitarian community and the Government of Nigeria and the dedication of teams and humanitarian partners in supporting them, humanitarian needs have drastically increased and the humanitarian response needs to keep scaling up to reach all the affected population in need.

Department of History, Adamawa State University, Mubi. 4. Department of Agricultural Education, College of Education, Hong. Abstract: This study was conducted to examine the impact of Boko Haram insurgence on livestock production in Mubi region of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Four local government areas (Mubi north, Mubi south, Madagali and Michika) were purposely selected for this study. Thirty (30) livestock farmers were randomly selected from each of the local government area making a total of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents. One hundred and twenty (120) structured questionnaires were administered to gather information from the farmers through an interview schedule. Majority of the livestock farmers in Mubi south (56.67%) Mubi north (63.33%), Madagali (53.33%) and Michika (80%) were males. Most of the respondents had secondary school certificates (40 to 50%) and Diploma certificates (23.33 to 36.70%). Greater proportion of the livestock farmers had family size of 5 to 10 people per family. Family labour accounted the highest (43.33 to 60%) types of labour used in managing the animals. Sizable population (53.33 to 63.33%) of the livestock farmers kept domestic animals as source of income. Livestock populations were observed to have been drastically reduced as a result of Boko Haram attacks.

  • Site Suitability for Yam, Rice and Cotton Production in Adamawa State of Nigeria: a Geographic Information System (Gis) Approach
    FUTY Journal of the Environment, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2009 45 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 SITE SUITABILITY FOR YAM, RICE AND COTTON PRODUCTION IN ADAMAWA STATE OF NIGERIA: A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) APPROACH. M. Ikusemoran and T. Hajjatu Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria. ABSTRACT This paper demonstrated the potentials of GIS technique for mapping and delineating the suitable sites for Yam, Rice and Cotton production in Adamawa State. Site suitability mapping is necessary to create data bank and to guide the farmers in decision making on sites for crop production in the state. The use of GIS for this decision making introduces reliability and saves time with a consequent increase in agricultural productivity. The six criteria that were used for the study include soil, topography, vegetation, temperature, annual rainfall and lengths of rainy season. A combination of Ilwis 3.0 Academics, Arcview GIS 3.0 and Idrisi 32 were used for data capture and analysis. Using Boolean operations on the six criteria, and based on the requirements for each crop, all the areas that met the six conditions were considered “most suitable”. The areas with five conditions were assigned “suitable”, while the areas with four and/or three criteria were considered “just suitable”. The areas that were considered unsuitable are those areas that met no condition or the areas that met only one or two conditions. The study revealed that yam production in the state is “most suitable” in only Ganye Jada and Toungo Local Government Areas (LGA) in the Southern part of the state, covering only 5.05% of the state land mass.

Edition Roger Blench Kay Williamson Educational Foundation 8, Guest Road, Cambridge CB1 2AL United Kingdom Voice/Answerphone 00-44-(0)1223-560687 Mobile 00-44-(0)7967-696804 E-mail [email protected] http://rogerblench.info/RBOP.htm Skype 2.0 identity: roger blench i Introduction The present electronic is a fully revised and amended edition of ‘An Index of Nigerian Languages’ by David Crozier and Roger Blench (1992), which replaced Keir Hansford, John Bendor-Samuel and Ron Stanford (1976), a pioneering attempt to synthesize what was known at the time about the languages of Nigeria and their classification. Definition of a Language The preparation of a listing of Nigerian languages inevitably begs the question of the definition of a language. The terms 'language' and 'dialect' have rather different meanings in informal speech from the more rigorous definitions that must be attempted by linguists. Dialect, in particular, is a somewhat pejorative term suggesting it is merely a local variant of a 'central' language. In linguistic terms, however, dialect is merely a regional, social or occupational variant of another speech-form. There is no presupposition about its importance or otherwise. Because of these problems, the more neutral term 'lect' is coming into increasing use to describe any type of distinctive speech-form. However, the Index inevitably must have head entries and this involves selecting some terms from the thousands of names recorded and using them to cover a particular linguistic nucleus. In general, the choice of a particular lect name as a head-entry should ideally be made solely on linguistic grounds.
